Prosecutors flag 2 cases after bodycam debunks Jacksonville officer's version of events

An officer with history of confrontational traffic stops was flagged by local prosecutors last year after police body cam footage contradicted his version of events.

What a shock....a lying, abusive cop and the department ignores the pattern of abuse and behavior. And people wonder why average people no longer trust cops.

"He's not a bad police officer."
Sir, he's the DEFINITION of a bad police officer.

[mcsegeek]

Forget the expert. If he won't admit a thug with a badge is a bad cop, he's not worth listening to.

[Joe-xyvy]

He lied on a police report, a sworn court document. That deserves immediate Brady list.

[bryanrussell]

That guy claiming that he's not a bad cop is exactly why this will never go away. What more does any other reasonable person need to see to know that he is a bad cop?

[ilmarenthewhisperer]

"I don't think he's a bad police officer", WTF he's a violent criminal and a disgrace to the badge and people he's supposed to protect.

[bowen]

He needs about 5 years in the slammer, and 20 years parole

As a small town officer now retired. I do not understand all the violence from officers. The lack of holding the officers accountable is an effort by the local police to cover up their sins.

"He's not a bad officer." I call BS, he's clearly threat to public safety, which makes him a "bad officer". Every law enforcement agency in the country needs to fire these toxic threats to peace & safety.

"He's not a bad officer?! He just needs a change in his environment." He needs a change. From officer to felon, and at the very least, officer to civilian.

"He's not a bad officer." My arse. He's a criminal with immunity.

[mrbriceno]

They should be able to sue the police department and officers directly.

Let’s be clear…HE IS A BAD POLICE OFFICER!!!! He is absolutely horrible and a criminal. He should go to prison for abuse, battery, and lying in official reports. How terrible that he has not been charged.

[mphDrBrown]

He's on video attacking people, lying about it, and giving them false charges. Not only does he not get charged, but he doesn't even lose his job. This is insane.

Edit: For anyone interested "the civil rights lawyer" on YouTube has a couple videos on this psycho, including another incident of Peppers punching someone in the face while they're in handcuffs and breaking his jaw.

[nxsyrxn]

How many lawsuits were avoided by payoffs to the abused citizens? He’s a danger to the public

[clubberlange]

This cop needs to be put in prison for his violent attacks on citizens.

[meanlean]

He’s not a bad officer. That statement right there tells us how much bad behaviour they tolerate.

[watchingliberty]

The most disturbing part of this video isn't the officer or his actions. Those were dispicable. It was the part " ... is he a bad officer? No, I don't think he's a bad The rot was showing right there. Through and through.

Great job to the reporter and news channel. Truly brave and inspiring.

[AbrewOfMusic]

PTSD should be an immediate disqualifier.
